I think Farmboy meant half a calf without very much muscle.  Sorry,too. Couldn't resist either.    (lol)

The market has dropped off alot because of the flooded market in the south. What weight are you looking at, what are you doing with the calves. Keep in mind that in the spring both feeders and replacements heifers will be in high demand because much of the south has sold due to drought and many people are going to be wanting quality calves so buy as many as your budget allows. Buy good calves know keep them till spring then sell in about march when prices go sky high.

im lookin to sell them becuase were not gonna have enough hay through winter.

 

[showsteerdlux]

Well that stinks. What is the average weight. Any way that you could give them extra supplement to try and wait till spring?

  where are you in ohio..  ?.....i noticed a few folks in athens co (ohio)  and wood co (wva.)( home of the old mineral wells stock yard) area, still  had hay still for sale and some were bartering hay for stock as well in the local advertiser.....i'm with showsteerdelux...i think i would hold on to as many as i could till spring...prices..in athens co and surronding areas have been very low....those who have hay are picking up great deals...and again , for those that are willing to barter,... ive seen a few win/ wins situations where folks are picking up some nice stock for some decent hay, and vice versa....just a thought...jbarl

That stinks but I know how you feel. We just took 2 trailer loads off yesterday and we're taking another next week.

We haven't been able to find any hay for sale. We can't even find any cornstock bales even. We have some hay but not enough for as many cows as we had.

They're going to sell cheap though. I never saw so many trailers unloading cattle at the sale barn before.

I hate to hear that. We dont have any problems with hay down here in the south.

 

[showsteerdlux]

What part of the south are you in because in TN, NC, SC, GA, and VA there ain't any hay to be found.
